ENGLISH CONVERSATION CLASS
Women from a diverse range of cultural backgrounds come together once a week to build their confidence in English. The class focuses on vocabulary, basic grammar, and written skills. It is also a space to share insights and have conversation on topics which affect women’s everyday lives.
COMPUTER LITERACY CLASS
In order to assist culturally and linguistically diverse women and respond to their needs, IWSA runs computer classes at various levels. The classes cover basic computer skills, how to search for information on the Internet, resume writing, tips for using social media and digital photography, and more.
SEWING CLASS
IWSA sewing classes are a practical and therapeutic activity for culturally and linguistically diverse women who want to develop their sewing and tailoring skills.
Participants get to develop their skills through a variety of sewing projects such as making pillowcases, skirts or saree blouses, or learning how to make alterations on various types of clothing. Participants in the group often use their skills within their home life or to start their own tailoring businesses.
